Back in the spring of 2013, as Rutgers was going through its biggest controversy in years, Kyle Flood managed to compartmentalize his football program. Outside the Lines was replaying Mike Rice's vicious dodgeball practices over and over. Tim Pernetti had been fired, and the AD search was taking bizarre turn after bizarre turn. But Flood and the football program kept plugging, being the beacon in an otherwise damaged area of the university.
And now, as Kyle Flood goes through his own turmoil, as Rutgers' name is stained once more because of several missteps, only one man and can step up and make us proud of the athletic department again.
